Markers in Time Painting

Carlson Hatton Lives and works in Los Angeles and received a BFA from the Cooper Union in NYC. He moved to the Netherlands for a post graduate program in Amsterdam at de'Ateliers and later continued on to a studio arts laureate program at the Jan van Eyck Academie in the city of Maastricht. He is a full-time professor of art at Santa Monica College. Hatton has had solo exhibitions at Patrick Painter and Ruth Bachhofner Gallery has additionally exhibited at Shoshana Wayne Gallery, The Torrance Art Museum, The Carnegie Art Museum, de Appel Arts Centre in Amsterdam, Gallerie Nouvelles Images in The Hague, The Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht, and has an upcoming public Art installation along the Expo Line in Los Angeles. Hatton's complexly layered compositions challenge a fixed point of view and consider how our visual experiences are informed by memory, intuition, and emotional response. His unique fusions of drawing, printmaking and painting deliver a strong sense of psychedelia and ask to be deciphered by a viewer.
